The music more than the man

So we are at this karaoke bar last night with a bunch of friends (another last farewell). This is Dubai, so you have a crowd representative of most nationalities - Arabs, Filipinos, Indians, Pakistanis, Egyptians, Italians, Brits, Americans... you name it.

Black or White starts up, and spontaneously the entire bar joins in. Everyone knows every nuance of this song. Everybody wants more.

The universality of the appeal of MJ's music is his greatest legacy.
